30 Pounds and Counting! (Closed Group)

Yayyyy!!! Just to give my stats: 27 yrs old, 5'7" and cw 155 gw 140-130 (haven't decided yet) I know it isn't exactly 30 lbs but I did start at 160 :laugh:

Right now I have some regular panties that kinda make me muffin'top. but as soon as i don't muffin'top any more you can bet I'll be posting it on here!

I decided, since I was the kind of person to cry "wolf" in terms of losing weight, that I wouldn't tell anyone except my hubs and my sister. I've done MUCH better doing it that way because I'm not fooling myself no mo'! So glad to be here!
Here's to losing 30! :flowerforyou:

Awesome idea!

i'd love to be a part of this! i'm 5'6, current/starting weight 163-164 (depending on the day) and goal weight is 135-140 (we'll see how i feel when i get there and whether i end up gaining much muscle or not). are we doing weekly weigh-ins?

I want to join!! I am 5'7 and weigh 185. I would love to get to 145 by December.

Got up this morning and ran with my husband for 30 minutes. It felt really good! I might even try to get an extra work out in tonight

I had a very frustrating last couple of weeks. Worked out a lot and ate within my calories and didnt loose anything But I did notice my clothes are fitting a little better and not a tight as before. Hopefully I will see some weight loss soon.

Hi guys. I'm 24, just started MFP last monday, 5'7, started at 170, and have got down to 167 in a week. I have a 15 month old son, and have been struggling with weight lost. In the past year, the lowest I've gotten was 165, but I can't seem to get any lower than that. I'm happy that we have this group, because I am really unmotivated, and it's great to do this with people similar to myself. I feel like we're all in the same category of not being "obese", but at the same time not being skinny either. I live in Hawai'i, right across the street from the beach, and it would be great to wear a bikini again. I'm aiming to lose 30 lbs by December. Good luck to us all!

Okay! I'll add that I want to get to my goal weight by the beginning of September. I should be rrreeeal close. Jamaica calleth me :laugh: and my victoria's secret bikini too!! :blushing:

i think i'll keep doing my weigh-ins on sunday, that way i don't eat like crap fridays and saturdays. plus i won't have access to my scale until this friday because it's all packed up, and i'm going to be eating on the road for the next few days! yikes, cross your fingers for me.

anyway, hi! my name is rosemary, i'm 23 years old and i'm 5'6 and 163 pounds right now. my first goal is 145, though i'd love to get down to 135. i'm hoping to get down to 145 (or at least the 140s) by thanksgiving week - we always go back east to see family and i'd love to NOT be larger this year than i was last year ;-)
i'm looking forward to gaining back the discipline and fitness that i had achieved a year and a half ago before moving to portland. i'm actually moving back home to redlands, ca (my boyfriend and i are from there and want to go back to be with family again - we miss it!) on wednesday so i'm hoping that will be a belp, being around my support system again. i'm looking forward to shedding a few clothing sizes, a few minutes from my 5k times, a little bit of the disappointment i see when i look in the mirror, and everything else that is holding me back from being mentally and physically happy!

I'm Jaime. I'm 33 and weight 168 today. I started at 179 and my goal is 140. I don't have a specific goal date in mind. My wonderful bf and I are trying to start a family and I want to reach my goal weight and get in shape before that happens, or at least be on my way. We started Instanity a couple of months ago but stopped because my bf broke his toe (had nothing to do with working out!) and I was worried it might not be good for trying to conceive. We've both been slack in our "eating well" for the last week or so, so I have to work harder to eat better now!

Ran this morning with the hubby! Yahoo! It feels so good to have completed my workout by 6:30 this morning. Its hard to get up but I really am liking the way it makes me feel throughout the day!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Hey! I kinda know how you feel!
I went bike riding around 8:30-9:15 and I felt great afterwards! Then I went to the gym for an hr. Phew!! Glad I'm home. I'm kind of pooped now. That was a little more than I usually do :laugh:

I weighed in at 155 this morning :bigsmile: Same as yesterday!

Hi!

I am 19 years old and 5'7. My starting weight was 170 lbs, I am now around 163 pounds and would like to get down to the 140-145 lbs area. This group sounds great, keep it up everyone!

Nothing....... not one pound! Very frustrated! I have been so good about my calories and have worked out consistently for 3 weeks. I have read one some other posts that maybe I should up my calories. My base is 1200 and I have been pretty good about eating all of my exercise calories. The only thing is that I am not hungry. I can't imagine eating more!

Oh well I am going to try and not let this discourage me.
Better luck next week I guess!
Hope everyone is doing good!

Yes they are actually! That is what is keeping me going! That and I feel so good! I will have to measure inches so that I can really tell if i am getting leaner.

Good job Alexandra! Keep up the good work!

Went for another run this morning. It feels so good to have my workout done early.
